'Caps at College - Week 9

Several Vancouver Whitecaps FC alums made the headlines in college soccer on the weekend, and not for the first time this season, UBC Thunderbirds striker Janine Frazao led the way.

Frazao bagged a stunning five goals in the T-Birds’ monster win, North Carolina’s Amber Brooks scored and provided for the Tar Heels while Erin McNulty had two wins – including a shutout - for Penn State.

On the men’s side, defender Daniel Stanese was a standout for Florida Gulf Coast University while Niko Saler ensured the University of Alberta escaped with a draw from their entertaining battle with UBC.

In Edmonton, Saler sent in a cross that was tucked home by Jonah Feil with nine minutes to go, giving the Golden Bears a deserved 2-2 tie with unbeaten UBC. Earlier, ‘Caps alum Reynold Stewart gave the T-Birds the lead with a goal in the 62nd minute.

And last but not least, Trinity Western secured a comprehensive 7-0 win over Northern British Columbia on Friday at Rogers Field thanks to goals from former ‘Caps Prospects Tessa Meyer and Jenna Di Nunzio, while women’s team goalkeeper Kristen Funk picked up yet another shutout.
